You may be int...Hi Stephan, thanks for the comment! You may be interested in Bruce Beynnon&#39;s clinical trial with accelerated rehab for ACL injuries (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21952714). The authors found that at two years the groups were similar in terms of &quot;clinical assessment, patient satisfaction, function, proprioception, and isokinetic thigh muscle strength&quot;. An earlier pilot study by the group found similar biomarker changes as well (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15716250). It will be very helpful to see injury recurrence rates and structural changes down the road. Stay tuned! As more long-term results from the MOON cohort are published we&#39;ll have them here.Jeffrey Dribanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08747129090964848172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894049042950547629.post-63576310918642390672015-07-01T17:45:32.339-04:002015-07-01T17:45:32.339-04:00I agree that the accelerated rehab programs are of...I agree that the accelerated rehab programs are often pursued, but may not be the most beneficial for the athlete. Information regarding the patient outcomes for the accelerated groups would be interesting to see when comparing injury recurrence, functional questionnaires, and/or progressive cartilage degeneration to the traditional programs. I also agree that early weight bearing and motion of the knee is important, as it may have a limiting effect of muscle inhibition that occurs due to positive feedback. It will be interesting to see what outcomes the MOON group receives in the future!!Stephan Bodkinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894049042950547629.post-53173066495966607322015-05-19T21:10:06.420-04:002015-05-19T21:10:06.420-04:00Thanks Clint!

Knowing some of the physicians involved in this study, I am certain that they will provide great resources to rehabilitation specialists of all kinds in the near future as this data continues to be collected.Clint Sandershttp://www.athletictrainerweekly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894049042950547629.post-31404961186593248182015-05-13T21:48:02.537-04:002015-05-13T21:48:02.537-04:00I just wanted to note that the MOON Group&#39;s pr...I just wanted to note that the MOON Group&#39;s project information on their website (https://medschool.vanderbilt.edu/orthopaedics/moon-knee-project) notes that they are planning to follow the study cohort at 2, 6, and 10 year post operative intervals. Knowing several of the physicians involved in this study, I&#39;m sure they will provide phenomenal resources for rehabilitation specialists as the data continues to be reported.Clint Sandershttp://www.athletictrainerweekly.comnoreply@blogger.com
